Dennis actually gets a date with Dagmar the secretary from, the office of the Belo building site.

But if he thinks for one minute that he has a cat in hell's chance of getting, any privacy with his mates around he should know better.

Wayne as usual fancies himself as a jack the lad with any woman who takes his fancy, Barry admitting he needs some advice in this regard.

He rather stupidly seeks Wayne's advice and even more rashly, he gets his agreement to join him on the town.

Neville imagines himself as Claire Raynor the Agony Aunt when he tried to give Dennis advice to get him over his divorce.

But he is hardly the best mate to have in the world when he, happily joined Oz in his idea of a prank.

Dennis tries to keep secret his relationship with the building site administrator Dagmar.

He rushes around the swimming baths and the city centre but keeps bumping into the lads thwarting his weekend.

A funny episode with a good twist at the end however I have only given it a seven due to the ridiculous Wayne and Barry scene involving Swedish air hostesses.

They meet oh so briefly at traffic lights on Barry's bike and exchange only a few words however in the set up at the hotel involving Oz we are supposed to believe they gleaned Wayne's surname from this very short exchange.

Maybe the extended scene was cut out however it disjoints the episode of a very gritty and realistic series.

It is the weekend in the hut and the boys are bored. It is usually another evening of going out boozing to look forward to. The boys want to do something different.

Not for Wayne, he hunts alone and it is why he his successful with the ladies. Barry tags along with him this time to get some pointers.

Meanwhile Oz and Neville decide to go swimming at the local leisure centre.

All this is bad news for Dennis. He plans to take Dagmar for a night at a local hotel and he gets interrupted at every turn. Even when he goes swimming.

Later Wayne and Barry turn up at the same hotel looking for two Swedish air hostesses.

It is an episode that relies on a lot of coincidences. I would have thought Dennis would had been better off going to a hotel with its own pool and sauna.

I can understand his frustrations, his own romantic weekend being spoiled just made him angrier.
